Technology Consulting for Libraries

The future is already here...

... it just isn't evenly distributed.

what we do

Consulting

Specializing in technology planning for services and spaces, but equally comfortable working with your team on strategic planning, we can help your library better serve your patrons.

Speaking

Jason has done multiple international keynotes, but loves speaking at local staff development days, and knows how to deliver a keynote address to audiences of all sizes.

Teaching

Jason has designed and delivered workshops on topics such as libraries and technology innovation, managing mobile technology, building custom hardware for your library, and more. Let me know what kind of workshops your library needs.

Writing

Two books, numerous chapters, and multiple Library Technology Reports prove Jason's ability to communicate with the written word.

Evenly Distributed has over 2 decades of experience in technology, with a decade of experience in library technology. We have experience in all aspects of library technology, including backend systems from ILL to ILS, personal electronics in the library, and making and makerspace technology. We also have experience in space planning for library building projects (Jason was the primary lead on the technology planning for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga's new $48 million, 180,000 sq ft academic library, due to open Spring 2015). We can help you determine the best technological answers for your library, at every level. Contact us for more information and availability.
